@b0rk I am fond of <(do some command) which bash and some other shells
support.  As an example, after have gzipped and split a large file
(e.g. a .iso) onto a cd or dvd,  you can make sure the result of the
gzip'ed splitting matches the original withcmp foo.iso <(cat splitfoo*
| gzip -cd -)(I know that final - isn't necessary, but I like to make
it explicit.)
